It's possible for back-to-back meetings to be productive
I was recently discussing this with my teammate and she has the most productive meetings of anyone I know. Including the key tips she gave me below.
What would you add?
Pre-meeting:
- Use agendas to set a clear purpose for the meeting.
- Use pre-reads to help you get to the good stuff faster.
- Show up on time.
During-meeting:
- Time bucket items to help you stay on track.
- Use a parking...

Do you grandfather people in when making pricing changes?
Admittedly, I didn't grandfather people in sufficiently in the first product I worked on and it was a mistake. My goal was to better understand the niche who cared about the product the most (the pricing change did help us with this) but we lost customer trust in the process.
Moving forward I can see how grandfathering people in is almost always worthwhile. It gives some flexibility to make...

Love this. I'd also add that trust is very important and takes time to build. Your co-founder relationship will last many years through ups and downs. You want to make sure you trust your co-founder and have strong communication.
What do you look for in a co-founder? 👫

PDFs are so frustrating to work with but it's often a format people expect or require. Love that this makes it easy to fill PDFs with a webform (and API....)

Wow what a great new user experience. Tabs as tasks is a super neat idea. I think this will be great for my sanity.

How far out do you publish your public roadmap?
We're thinking to start publishing a public roadmap and are deciding how far out we're comfortable sharing. The main concern is that our roadmap is likely to (and should!) change the further out we get, based on customer feedback.
I'm thinking to start with what we expect to build in the next month as the initial timeline.
What do you do? Also, please share your public roadmap for...

Really well said, André! This is exactly what we did at the end of last year. We saw that our growth was slow so we went back to the drawing board to see where we could have a bigger impact in the docs / note-taking space given what we've learned.
2+ years of the old product got us to 11K users.
2 weeks into the new product and we've already exceeded this at 14K users.
It was painful to do...

Pros and Cons of entering a crowded space?
Today we're launching Stashpad Docs, a Google docs alternative
When entering a crowded space like Docs, there are benefits of the market demand being clear and downsides of high expectations for an MVP.
Do you think it's better to enter a crowded, validated space or to create a new space?
